Preparation
Drain the coconut milk from the can into a small bowl and whisk and add the ground coconut. Pour into ice cube trays and freeze.
Let's brew green tea and mix sugar into it while it's still warm. Set aside to cool, it can also be placed in the refrigerator. Mix the diced mango, lime and cardamom with a hand blender until smooth and cool in the refrigerator. When cooled, mix everything together with coconut milk and sweeten if necessary.
Pour the mango tea mixture into the glasses, add coconut ice cubes and garnish with mint leaves.
